Head of Business Development

About the role

HEAD OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT $180k - $220k * meaningful equity

About the Role

Every trade on Novig needs someone on the other side. Liquidity providers are that someone. They quote the prices and tighten the spreads that make a market worth trading. As our Head of Business Development, you’ll own those relationships.

You’ll be the go-to partner for the trading firms and market makers already working with Novig. You’ll bring new liquidity providers onto the exchange and shape the incentives and deal terms that keep them here. You’ll work with Markets, Analytics, and Developer Relations, and you’ll directly shape how deep our order books get.

Who You Are and What You Will Do

• You’re the go-to partner for our largest LPs. You learn their goals and help them scale their relationship with Novig.
• You grow our LP base. You find and onboard new LPs, working with Developer Relations to get them live.
• You partner with Markets and Analytics to structure incentives that work for Novig and our LPs.
• You track performance. You monitor each LP’s trading performance and market share, and you send regular read-outs to the team and to partners.
• You represent Novig at industry events and LP meetings.
• You have 5+ years owning high-stakes relationships, whether in TradFi, trading, sports, fintech, or another industry entirely. Experience working with trading firms is a plus.
• You speak the language. You can talk spreads, fees, and risk with a trader on their terms, and you follow how prediction market structure is changing.
• You bring a network across prop shops, market makers, or sports trading desks.

Why Work Here, in the Words of the People Who Do

• “I work with extremely stellar people, I own real systems, and decisions happen fast.
• No politics, no waiting for needless red tape.

Not for Everyone

• Our work is tied to live sports - that means potential nights, weekends, and pressure included.
